Sometimes I do radio stuff and take photos of the night sky. Former 🇬🇧 turned 🇳🇿. Post a fair bit of rambling nonsense interspersed with #cat pictures.

Some more unpacking… found some of our books! Enki (our old tabby cat who is no longer with us) is in one of the catsock books.

Interesting note in the Feb 26 Hedge Market Summary from the Electiricy Authority; Long-dated winter quarters dropped by an average of $20/MWh at both Ōtāhuhu and Benmore. Q1 2029 futures experienced the largest decreases, dropping by $33/MWh at Ōtāhuhu and $26/MWh at Benmore. These decreases are potentially related to gentailer pipeline announcements from half-year reporting and recent sustained low wholesale prices. The forward curve shows participants expect prices to decline over the next four years. his is likely due to the large volume of possible new generation. Who'd have thought that building out more generation (mostly renewable!) would help bring pricing down 🤔 see image for in pipeline stuff (both committed and non-committed) https://www.ea.govt.nz/documents/9449/Hedge_market_summary_-_February_2026.pdf

what's also nice is they put it in a bundle with Slay the Spire which means that because of how Steam's bundles work you get a discount on the new game as a result.

@ewenmcneill@cloudisland.nz turns out that for some reason even tho iw reg get showed NZ as the applied settings, it was for whatever reason ignoring that, sat on global and started getting all uppity about that. I guess must have been a weird issue somewhere, and likely why when it attempted the 6Ghz bands it imploded. Quick update to the regdom and it's happy as on the 6Ghz and stable. Computers eh? 🫠

@mattrobertson@aus.social yeah this is "PV Excess" setting so just sinks anything once the house battery is charged into the car at up to 12.5kW, which given how rubbish the daytime export rates are for me is well worth just charging the car off of. Be really interesting to see how the next few years go with that sort of charging. Can totally see more getting onboard with the DC charging.

@foxylad@mastodon.nz it's an interesting one because it seems to depend a lot on how it was installed, mostly if there was too much curvature/pull on the cabling it seems or things not quite crimped "perfectly". That said, it's surprising they actually used the design they did for the 8+ single phase ones. The three phase ones had the "new" design already. My installer told me on 11th Nov. which was before it was officially sent to customers, that was the day they got the email from sig about it. It's also odd that your inverter hadn't been de-rated on export too, as that was the other thing Sig did right away (before they actually told people, which was a bit of a PR mess lol), or wasn't using the temp sensing they rolled out 🤔 can see mine de-rating as intended in the graph - my solar company is being a shit about getting his a into g about the replacement, the installer is a separate person. I should email him again... and maybe be a bit more grumpy (apparently he has the replacement...)

@mattrobertson@aus.social I was a little skeptical that the DC side of things would behave as well as it has frankly but figured I'd take a shot so I can do V2X as well. Really neat to see how quickly it reacts to load and/solar changes.

@mattrobertson@aus.social one of the joys of DC charging from solar is tracking it precisely (even inside the same brand, my DC charger behaves way better than their AC one) and better efficiency, be nice to see more support for that in a home setting.

BESS generation has been added to the Transpower weekly report, nice. Some nice additions to the hydro charts too. Sadly the last week ended the 20 week streak of >=96% renewable generation as it dropped to 95% Market Operations Weekly Report - Week Ended 1 March 2026 https://static.transpower.co.nz/public/bulk-upload/documents/Market%20Operations%20-%20Weekly%20Report%20-%201%20March%202026.pdf

@PetraOleum@cloudisland.nz if birch is anything to go by on other things we have bought from them, you may well have just got the wrong thing in the packet 🤣 We bought some stuff recently (a pen, for drawing outlines but is removable) and the completely wrong brand and type was in their packet lol The lovely staff member at the local spotlight was "ah not again" and we helped her take all the mis-packed stock of them off the shelf...

"Improving electricity billing in New Zealand - Final decision - 3/03/2026" TL;DR Standard things required on bills across all retailers with mandatory information being front and centerBetter plan advice, including requiring yearly plan reviews, banning termination fees when switching inside the same retailer A customer contacting for billing related things should be offered the option of a plan review as part of their customer care obligations Limits to back billing (timeframes, so you can't be back billed years for example) is very interesting as they sussed that they'd just start using their brands more to sting people; 4.88 We have clarified in the Code that the same retailer includes that retailer’s different brands and subsidiaries. e.g. if you wanted to move from Meridian to Powershop they couldn't slap you with an exit fee under these rules. https://www.ea.govt.nz/documents/9365/Improving_electricity_billing_in_New_Zealand.pdf

Try to do something useful for people and all you end up doing is fucking it up yet again what even is the point.

Progress on fully moving over games to my CachyOS install is going well. So far I've not ran into issues with any of them, including mod loader (Satisfactory) and addon loader (GW2). Those two were two I'd put off because I thought it'd be hassle to get the mods/addons working. It wasn't, Satisfactory Mod Manager was in the AUR 😅 Other things like Path of Building I've got working (via rusty-path-of-building) for both PoE1 and PoE2 - in time for the next league start next weekend. Performance seems good.

Need to decide if I'm at the point where I'm able to blow away Windows on desktop and just run my stuff in the Linux setup. Haven't really ran into anything that doesn't work entirely, some things are a little janky but it's not like Windows 11 is a shining example of "working perfectly" these days either...
